@nycfunguys: Huitlacoche is a delicacy in Mexico but thought of as a pest in the USA. It is a pathogenic fungus that affects corn stalks called Ustilago maydis (aka Corn Smut). The fungus reduces the corns yield and can cause the loss of crops. In Mexico it is a tasty meal typically cooked into quesadillas, tacos, soups, and more! It has a mushroom taste along with being sweet, smokey, and savory. It's also known to some as the Mexican Truffle! . #mushrooms #vegan #mycology #Huitlacoche #cornsmut
